Carteck AutoTrend Georgian (20 Colour Options) ELECTRIC OPERATOR INCLUDED Insulated Sectional Door garage door Steel Carteck

The CarTeck AutoTrend Georgian Design

The CarTeck AutoTrend Georgian sectional garage door delivers an elegant, heritage aesthetic for your property. When you compare a CarTeck Georgian panel to other doors on the market, you will notice the stamp features much more classic, attractive proportions rather than shallow, compressed squares. This visually balances the door perfectly and looks particularly stunning when combined with optional high grade window inserts to allow natural daylight into the garage. This product is supplied as a complete electric insulated sectional garage door package, arriving with the exact CarTeck electric motor drive and all the vital components required for installation.

A Complete Electric Automation Package

Every AutoTrend package is ready to operate straight away with a premium CarTeck motor included as standard. Depending on the specific dimensions of your door, you will receive either the robust L60 or the heavy duty L75 motor system. You get a fantastic choice of control accessories, starting with two multi channel remote control transmitters included as standard, so you can open your garage smoothly without leaving your car. For larger door sizes, a wireless wall switch is also provided, and you can easily expand your system later with wireless keypads or smartphone control options.

Top Reasons to Choose a Sectional Garage Door

Sectional garage doors provide some of the most practical benefits available for any modern or traditional property. Here are the main reasons why homeowners are upgrading:

• Brilliant use of space: The panels open vertically and track backwards across the ceiling, allowing you to park your vehicle right up close to the door both inside and out.
• Excellent insulation: The forty millimetre thick insulated steel panels feature a high density foam core, helping to keep your garage warmer, drier and completely free from draughts.
• Maximum drive through width: Because the door sits behind the brickwork and lifts vertically, you benefit from the absolute maximum width and height of your garage opening every single time.
• High security: The solid, multi layered steel panels combined with the active mechanical resistance of the electric motor provide outstanding protection against forced entry attempts.

Why Choose the CarTeck Brand?

CarTeck is widely celebrated for premium engineering and exceptional build quality. When you compare CarTeck to other manufacturers, several exclusive benefits make it the clear choice for your home:

• German Engineered, British Built: You get the very best of precision German engineering combined with UK manufacturing. Because these doors are built in Warrington, Cheshire, CarTeck offers some of the fastest and most reliable delivery times on the market.
• Made to Measure at No Extra Cost: Every AutoTrend door is manufactured exactly to your specific garage opening dimensions. There are no extra cut down charges, ensuring a far neater fit, smoother running and a visually superior finish compared to standard off the shelf sizes.
• The Widest Range of High Quality Colours: You can select from twenty beautiful, UK relevant standard colour finishes to perfectly complement the exterior of your home, all available at the exact same price as white.
• Smarter, Safer Installation: CarTeck uses highly advanced concealed extension springs (tension springs) safely hidden away in protective steel trays high up in the tracks. This completely removes the need for ugly, exposed torsion springs that gather dust and rust. It also makes installation significantly simpler, faster and safer.
• Maximum Space with Minimum Headroom: CarTeck offers the widest range of sizes and the absolute best mechanism for providing maximum drive through space. The brilliant low profile design requires just 120 millimetres of headroom as standard.
• Market Leading Warranty: You get the best back up service and warranty of any brand, including a ten year manufacturer guarantee on the panels against rust penetration and a five year guarantee on the motor and moving mechanical parts.

High Performance Construction

The CarTeck AutoTrend is a premium, vertically rising sectional garage door built for strength, insulation and security. It features highly engineered 40mm thick double skinned steel panels with a PUR foam core, combined with unique concealed tension spring balancing located high up in the tracks for maximum safety and incredibly smooth operation.

Fitted CarTeck Sectional Door Performance

As part of the strict CE/UKCA marking process, every CarTeck door is independently tested and certified to ensure you receive a garage door that genuinely performs. The following table shows the impressive performance characteristics of a fully installed CarTeck sectional garage door:

• Resistance to Windload (EN 12424): Class 2
• Watertightness (EN 12425): Class 2
• Air Permeability (EN 12426): Class 2
• Thermal Transmittance (EN 13241): 1.38 W/m²K
• Operating Forces (hand operated) (EN 12604): 150 N

Understanding Insulation & U-Values

When comparing insulated garage doors, it is vital to know exactly what is being measured. The CarTeck 40mm thick steel panels have an incredible insulating value that has been independently tested to 0.56 W/m²K (the lower the value, the better the insulation). However, a garage door is more than just a single panel.

Teckentrup always quote the honest, real world insulation value for a complete installed door (based on an 8’0” wide x 7’0” high size). This calculation includes all the panel joints, side seals, bottom seals and header strips. A complete, fully fitted CarTeck AutoTrend sectional door has an outstanding insulation ‘U-value’ of 1.38 W/m²K. You simply won’t find better performance on any comparable garage door.

Colour Options

All AutoTrend sizes are available in a fantastic selection of CarTeck Trend Colours, and brilliant news: they are all available at the exact same price as the standard white finish.

Frame Specifications

The standard door fixing frame legs and head section are supplied in a smooth White finish (RAL 9016). If your frame will be visible, a colour matched upgrade is available at an additional cost to seamlessly match or purposely contrast with your chosen door colour.

Motor Rail Extensions

For any doors ordered over 2500mm high, the required extended boom rails for the electric operator are automatically calculated and added to your order. This essential upgrade is already included within the price of the door.

Crucial Measuring Deductions

Fitting Between the Opening:
If you are fitting your sectional door in between the brickwork opening, you must deduct 180mm from your structural opening width to determine your final ordering width. You must also ensure you leave adequate tolerance for fitting.

Height Deductions:
You need to deduct 140mm from your opening height to determine the ordering height for an electrically operated door. (If you are purchasing the additional twist fix header bracket, this deduction reduces to 120mm). If you are ordering a manual door, the deduction is 120mm.

Please Note: For any door heights over 2250mm, the frame legs cannot be supplied undrilled.

Smarter, Faster Installation

The CarTeck AutoTrend has been specifically designed to be the simplest and fastest sectional garage door to install on the market. Because every door is made to measure to your exact structural opening, there is no need for awkward on site cutting or difficult panel adjustments. You receive a door that fits perfectly straight out of the packaging.

A Single, Simple Lifting Gear

Unlike other manufacturers that use multiple, complicated torsion spring setups depending on the door size or available headroom, CarTeck uses one highly advanced lifting system across almost the entire range. The door is balanced by high quality extension springs (tension springs) that are safely concealed inside protective steel trays positioned high up in the horizontal tracks.

• Low Headroom as Standard: Because the springs are neatly tucked away in the tracks rather than mounted on a bulky front or rear torsion bar, the AutoTrend requires just 120mm of headroom as standard.
• Safer and Cleaner: The concealed trays keep the springs free from dust, dirt and rust, ensuring smooth and quiet operation while keeping them safely out of reach of inquisitive fingers.
• Easy Adjustment: The unique 'pull and place' tension adjustment system means balancing the door takes minutes. There is no need for dangerous winding bars or complicated tensioning procedures.

Installation Positions & Clearances

You can choose to install your CarTeck door either behind the structural opening (back fix) or directly within the opening (between fix).

• Fitting Behind the Opening: This is the traditional and recommended method, as it maximises your drive through width and height. The standard frame requires 85mm of sideroom on each side and 120mm of headroom above the opening.
• Fitting Between the Opening: If you do not have the required internal face brickwork, the door can be fitted between the reveals. When ordering for a between fit, you must select the 'In Between Opening Installation Kit'. Remember to carefully deduct the 85mm frame legs (170mm total) from your opening width, and 120mm from your opening height, whilst also allowing for your own fitting tolerances.

Convenient Flat Pack Delivery

To make handling and installation as easy and safe as possible, AutoTrend doors are delivered flat packed. This eliminates the need to heave around heavy, oversized crates, making it much easier to move the panels safely into your garage ready for assembly.

Installation Instructions are provided with every door or can be found here.

CarTeck AutoTrend Warranty Details

When you choose a CarTeck AutoTrend sectional garage door, you are investing in premium German engineering built for long term reliability. Teckentrup provides one of the most comprehensive and transparent warranties in the industry, giving you complete peace of mind.

Please note: The warranty periods outlined below only apply to products that have been correctly installed as per the manufacturer's instructions, maintained by a professional when required, and operated and cleaned in accordance with the requirements set out in the operating and maintenance manuals.

10 Year Manufacturer’s Guarantee

• On all steel panels against rust penetration from the inside to the outside.
• Against door panel separation (the separation of the steel skin from the internal insulating foam).
• On material and manufacturing flaws for all non-moving parts of the fixing frame that are verifiably unusable or whose usability is substantially compromised.
• On the bottom floor seal, intermediate panel seals, side seals and lintel seals against rotting.

5 Year Manufacturer’s Guarantee

• On all moving mechanical components, including rollers, hinges, cable pulleys, lifting cables and standard springs (based on an opening/closing cycle of maximum five times a day).
• On the CarTeck electric motor covering mechanical defects, material flaws and manufacturing faults (based on a maximum of five opening/closing cycles a day).
• On the paint finish against peeling and blistering (this excludes normal colour fade over time).

2 Year Manufacturer’s Guarantee

• On the polymer and aluminium window units (if your chosen door design features glazing).

Important Warranty Exclusions

The standard guarantees do not apply to doors that are subjected to extreme environmental conditions. For example, the 5 year paint finish guarantee excludes doors installed in coastal areas where the climate has a high salt content, which causes highly corrosive influences. Furthermore, consumable items such as hand transmitter batteries, light bulbs and fuses are not included within the warranty terms.

If fitting between the opening, please deduct 180mm from the opening width to determine the ideal ordering width.
Deduct 120mm for manual doors and 140mm for electric operation (unless the additional fitting bracket is purchased then 120mm applies) from the opening height to determine the ordering height.

How to Measure for Your CarTeck AutoTrend Sectional Door

Because every CarTeck AutoTrend door is made to measure at no extra cost, getting your measurements right means you will benefit from a perfect fit and a seamless installation. The dimensions you use to place your order are the Drive Through Sizes (the clear opening width and height between the door frames once installed).

Before you begin, grab a tape measure, a spirit level and a notepad. Always measure the structural opening in at least three places (top, middle, bottom for width; left, centre, right for height) to check if the brickwork is square.

1. Fitting Behind the Opening (Standard Back Fix)

This is the most common and recommended way to install a sectional garage door. The door and its steel frame are fitted to the inside face of the garage brickwork, maximising your drive through width and height.

• Ordering Width: Measure your structural brickwork opening width. Your ordering width is exactly the same as your opening width. The 85mm steel frame legs will sit neatly hidden behind the brickwork on either side.
• Ordering Height: Measure your structural brickwork opening height from floor to lintel. Your ordering height is exactly the same as your opening height. The 120mm steel header frame will sit concealed behind the lintel.
• Internal Clearances Required: You must ensure you have a minimum of 85mm of clear brickwork (sideroom) on the left and right inside the garage, and a minimum of 120mm of clear headroom above the opening lintel to accommodate the tracks and motor.

2. Fitting Between the Opening (Between Fix)

If you do not have the required internal face brickwork, or you have internal obstacles, the door and frame can be installed directly between the brickwork reveals. Because the frame legs and header will sit inside the aperture, you must deduct these from your opening sizes to find your final ordering size.

• Ordering Width: Take your smallest structural opening width and deduct 180mm. This deduction accounts for the two 85mm frame legs (170mm total) plus a 10mm tolerance to ensure the frame fits comfortably into the opening.
• Ordering Height: Take your smallest structural opening height and deduct 140mm for a standard electrically operated door. (Note: If you are purchasing the additional twist fix header bracket, this deduction reduces to 120mm).

3. Checking Your Depth into the Garage

Because sectional doors track backwards horizontally into the garage along the ceiling, you need to ensure the space is clear of obstructions.

• Check the ceiling area for structural beams, lighting fixtures, loft hatches, or pipework.
• The horizontal tracks and the electric motor boom require clear space extending back into the garage. As a general rule, you will need the height of your door plus an additional 700mm to 1000mm of depth to comfortably accommodate the electric motor rail.

Important Note: If you are fitting between the opening, remember to select the 'In Between Opening Installation Kit' and choose your preferred 'Fixing Frame Profile Colour' so the visible frame matches or complements your door perfectly.
